		<p>Capabilities allow us to enable or disable certain components of Capella product. Some categories of Capella functionalities have been predefined in the Capabilities preference page are:</p>
		<ul>
			<li>
				<b>Capella Advanced Modeling</b> includes functionalities for advanced users, for instance the Expert property view (this view is disabled by default, to be used with extreme caution).
			</li>
			<li>
				<b>Capella Concepts</b> includes functionalities concerning Capella System Engineering concepts, for instance the behavior component concept
			</li>
			<li>
				<b>Capella Phases</b> includes functionalities available in different Capella phases, for instance the Operational Analysis phase.
			</li>
			<li>
				<b>Capella Tools</b> includes various Capella tools, for instance the Transitions tool
			</li>

		<h2 id="Sharing_the_Capella_capabilities_configuration_with_other_users">Sharing the Capella capabilities configuration with other users</h2>
		<p>Capabilities configuration can be shared among users via preference file (.epf). To export an .epf file to share with other users:</p>
		<ul>
			<li>1. Open the menu File &gt; Export</li>
			<li>2. Select General/Preferences item</li>
			<li>3. Give a valid path to the epf file</li>

		<p>To import an .epf shared by other users:</p>
		<ul>
			<li>1. Open the menu File &gt; Import</li>
			<li>2. Select General/Preferences item</li>
			<li>3. Give the path to the shared epf file</li>
		</ul>
		<p>We can then observe that, for instance, the Transitions contextual menu is not accessible any more on Project Explorer.</p>
